He glanced at the card which his ink-smeared attendant presented him. "Ah, indeed!" he said condescendingly. "Lovelace Lovelace?
With what a smug self-satisfaction under the mask of benevolence the speakers of that afternoon had flaunted their virtue their position! How condescendingly they had spoken of the home which we, the good, prepare for you, the bad, and what namby-pambyness there was, after all, in that sentiment which all of them had voiced and now you must pay us back by being good!

An effeminate, solemn-looking dandy outwardly within, as ferocious and hard a human biped as ever disgraced the name of man. "Well, Geoff!" said he, condescendingly presenting his hand, "what have you been doing for the last two years?"
She was far too pretty to cringe in this way, but Peter thought it his due, and he would answer condescendingly, "It is good. Peter Pan has spoken." Always when he said, "Peter Pan has spoken," it meant that they must now shut up, and they accepted it humbly in that spirit; but they were by no means so respectful to the other boys, whom they looked upon as just ordinary braves.
